Software Patches
TABLE 2-4 lists the Sun Fire Visual Grid software patches required; these are all installed automatically by the Sun Fire Visual Grid software install script. The Solaris 8 operating environment patch bundle found on the Sun patch web site (http://sunsolve.sun.com) may have newer versions of these patches, which are preferable.
The patches are located in the following directory: cdrom/cdrom0/Sun_Visual_Grid_Software/1.0/Solaris_8/Patches/

Sun OpenGL for Solaris Software
The Sun Fire Visual Grid software is supported in Sun OpenGL Version 1.3, and subsequent compatible Sun OpenGL versions, for Solaris operating environments. Each computer in the Sun Fire Visual Grid system requires this version of Sun OpenGL for Solaris. These software packages are bundled and automatically installed as part of the Sun Fire Visual Grid software. Two OpenGL 1.3 patches are also required; these are also bundled and automatically installed as part of the Sun Fire Visual Grid software.
Sun OpenGL for Solaris Software Packages

Other Software Requirements
Each Sun Fire Visual Grid computer containing a Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator requires all of the Sun XVR-4000 graphics accelerator software installed. See the Sun Fire V880z Server and Sun XVR-4000 Graphics Accelerator Installation and User's Guide.
Each computer also requires a Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 or 1.4.x, where x is any version number. The JRE version 1.4 is bundled with the Sun Fire Visual Grid software; if a JRE version 1.4.X is not found on the target system, it is automatically installed during the software installation process. If a correct version of the JRE is found already installed on the target system, the bundled JRE will not be installed; the Sun Fire Visual Grid software will automatically use the already installed JRE.
|
Note - Each computer must have the same version of the Sun Fire Visual Grid software packages running on it. If not, the dzadmin tool generates an error. Upgrade the Sun Fire Visual Grid software on each computer.
